FIVE MEETS NOT TO MISS

Woodbridge Invitational at Irvine Woodbridge HS, Sept. 17, TBA——
So who trained this summer? Woodbridge's fast, flat course will let
you know, and with seven nationally ranked programs in the mix it's
the highest caliber early season meet.

Mt. SAC Invitational, Oct. 22, TBA —— Is always a mid-season
indicator of whose going to be the best. The majority of the
Valley's teams will be there.

Southwestern League Finals at Temecula Valley HS, Nov. 3, 2:30
p.m. —— Chaparral, Murrieta Valley, Temescal Canyon, Vista
Murrieta, and Rancho Verde will run against the Golden Bears on
their hilly home course.

Outlook: Woodcrest Christian is a perennial power in the Big Sky
League, but the Warriors are hoping to sneak by the Royals with a
growing squad in numbers and talent. Wiley expects Wells and
Clingman to be his frontrunners, and would like to see them place
among the top runners once postseason races begin.

Outlook: Disenbacher lost a couple of his fastest boys to
graduation, so the Pumas are lacking in depth, though Iversen could
contend as an individual in the tough Southwestern League. Porter
and Hochstrasser will provide some strength on the girls side,
leading a young but promising squad.
